Designing a photo processing pipeline that requires automated resizing, categorization, and manual quality selection.
Use cases
About
The Photo Burst mind map template outlines a 4-station image processing workflow for handling bulk photo inputs from an S3 bucket. It covers 179 nodes across Inputs, Stations, Output, and Form Validations, detailing how images are extracted, resized to 700×700, categorized by scene, selected as best photos with Good/Bad reasons, and ranked. The template specifies that only JPG format is accepted and that API inputs (no CSV upload) are used. Key nodes like 'Content Station : Categorisation' and 'Content Station : Select Best Photos' define user interactions with filmstrip displays and error validation rules. This Photo Burst template serves as a cheat sheet for developers and QA teams designing or testing automated photo processing pipelines.

Frequently asked questions
It documents a multi-station image processing workflow: extracting JPG inputs from S3, resizing, categorizing scenes, selecting best photos with reasons, and ranking them. It also includes form validation rules for each station.
Only JPG format is currently supported. Formats like .bin, .db, .MOV, .NEF, and .tif are explicitly marked as invalid.
Images are sent to a Robot Station that uses Media-Engine to resize them to a 700×700 ratio, generating a new resized image URL.
An error pop-up message is displayed, preventing submission until at least one category is chosen.
Yes, you can left-click on an enlarged image to toggle between Good and Bad, and the thumbnail checkmark updates accordingly.
Yes, you can open the .xmind file in Xmind and customize the nodes, validation rules, or workflow steps to fit your project.
